14 This is an old problem! The header config.h got removed from the kernel source
15 in directory /usr/src/linux/include/linux but many drivers were not updated
16 to reflect this. I think your options are:
17
18 1. Find a copy in an old kernel source
19 2. Make a dummy file (it doesn't do much)
20 3. Symlink to autoconf.h in the same directory
